How was the comfort level on the HL2? That and the low FOV were what killed the original for me, as my use case is replacing my screens. I'm actually getting ready to commit to working 100% through VR -- Quest -- and AR -- currently ML1, but seriously considering the HL2...
If I didn't have a toddler to watch while I work much of the time, I'd probably just go all-in on VR (I'm currently working 30-50% through the Quest), but being able to see the world is kind of essential for those times haha.
Imo you are in for a treat, because FOV and comfort are the two biggest improvement areas with HL2, along with redesigned software/UX. Still no “killer app” third party software yet, or much third party software at all, but your biggest comfort and FOV complaints are all addressed extremely well.
As it goes with those kinds of things, you should definitely try the device out before making a conclusion, but given what you said earlier, I feel like you will like it.
